New Living Translation (NLT)
Leviticus 13
54 the priest will order the object to be washed and then quarantined for seven more days.
55 Then the priest must examine the object again. If he finds that the contaminated area has not changed color after being washed, even if it did not spread, the object is defiled. It must be completely burned up, whether the contaminated spot is on the inside or outside.
56 But if the priest examines it and finds that the contaminated area has faded after being washed, he must cut the spot from the clothing, the fabric, or the leather.
57 If the spot later reappears on the clothing, the fabric, or the leather article, the mildew is clearly spreading, and the contaminated object must be burned up.
58 But if the spot disappears from the clothing, the fabric, or the leather article after it has been washed, it must be washed again; then it will be ceremonially clean.
59 “These are the instructions for dealing with mildew that contaminates woolen or linen clothing or fabric or anything made of leather. This is how the priest will determine whether these items are ceremonially clean or unclean.”
Leviticus 14
1 And the LORD said to Moses,
2 “The following instructions are for those seeking ceremonial purification from a skin disease. Those who have been healed must be brought to the priest,
3 who will examine them at a place outside the camp. If the priest finds that someone has been healed of a serious skin disease,
4 he will perform a purification ceremony, using two live birds that are ceremonially clean, a stick of cedar, some scarlet yarn, and a hyssop branch.
5 The priest will order that one bird be slaughtered over a clay pot filled with fresh water.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
